George O. Jones, Chairman of the

Green back Committee of New York State,

has written to Charles Jenkins, a prominent

Ohio Oreenbaeker, expressing dissatisfaction at the attitude of Sen. Butler. Mr. Jonos says Butler must indicate his intentions very

soon, as the true men of the Greenback party care nothing about outside combinations, and they are becoming impatient and discontented at ue delay. If Butler does not run, Mr. Jones says, another candidate will be selected, and he suggests a conference of lead

ing Greenbaekers for that purpose the 9th of

September.

Derfloeiatio primaries held in the Kannsi City Congressional District resulted m a victory for W. H. Wallace, the prosecutor of the James gang. Gov. Cameron, of Virginia, I' called an extra session of toe Legislature of that State for Aug. 18, on the petition of twothirds of the members. Assigning as a reason that the aeceptory letters of Butler and Cleveland have not been made public, without which intelligent action could not be taken, the National Labor party's committee at Hew York issued orders postponing the convention at Chicago until Sept. 1. Gov. Cleveland was formally notified of his nomination by the Democratic Convention, at the State-House in Albany, on theStthuit. Nearly alt the members of the notification committee and of the National Democratic Committee were present, as were several prominent leaders of the party, including ex-Speaker Randall, Perry Belmont, Gen. Farnsworta, Joseph Pulitzer, and Congressman Golan, of Boston. CoL Vilas, of Wisconsin, Introduced the members of the committee and made the speech of no tl ficatlou. At the conclusion of Col. Vilas remarks the formal notification, signed by the members, was read to the Governor. The latter replied by expressing confidence that the happiness and prosperity of the people lay in the application of Democratic measures to national affairs. . Then followed the usual exchange of compliments, the interchange of views, and a lunch. The notification committee of the national Democratic Convention went from Albany to Saratoga and officially informed Gov. Hendricks of his nomination for the Vice Presidency. Tne ceremony took place in the parlor of the Grand Colon Hotel, Hon. W. F. Vilas acting as spokesman for the oommittee. Mr. Bell, Secretary of the oommittee, read the formal ad

dress, to which Mr. Hendricks responded in a

five minutes' speech accepting toe nomination. Mr. Hendricks was then introduced to each member of the committee. A general

handshaking followed, after which toe people

paid their rosceota to Mrs. Hendricks, and then quietly dispersed. ' The BepubKcan convention of West Virginia -nominated Edwin Maxwell (the Greenback norclft) for Governor, and divided the other offices equally, save that the candidates for Presidential electors and Judges of the Supreme Court are Bepub-

Flans have been laid in Wisconsin by the Democrats by which Vilas ts to be candidate for Governor: A. K. Delaney, Lieutenant Governor; and Gen. Bragg ia to be again seat to Congress.

Mr. O'Brien, the editor of United Ireland, has been mulcted in heavy damages for referring to Mr. Bolton, an Irish Crown Frosecutor, as a swindler, a forger, a perjurer, and an adulterer. A Belfast jury has fixed the money value of the injury done to Mr. Bolton at (15,000. A curious notion prevails among the poor and uneducated classes of Marseilles and

Toulon to the effect that the physicians are

aiding in the spread of the cholera in order to get rid of the surplus population. It appears that a medical crank at Berlin recently read a paper In which he referred to cholera as a providential visitation to kill off perrons enfit to live. This has been printed and cir

culated extensively in the In footed districts. The result Is that doctors are looked upon by the ignorant people at forerunners of death, and are fought off with knives and pistols.

The Anti-Whisky Candidates for President iand Vice President-,

Proceedings of the Prohibition National Convention at Pittsburgh ThB kationat fo-ohlbition Convention met at Pittsburgh, on Wednesday, the aad of July, and was called to order by Gideon L. Stewart. Mere than 400 delegates were In attendance. The cull of the convention was read by Um Socretaiy, W. R. W. Olson, of Chieaao. C.L. Ross, 61 Pittsburgh delivered an address oi welcome, to which Mr. Stewart respon led lie o died attention to tnofaci that the hall in which thev wet was Dne of htstoric Interest. Nearly tiiirty-twd Scars ko the anti-s avery patriots assembled in . to organize, a national canipalim aeainxt the crime which at that time nlino I rtiiucd the republic Mr. Stewart merged his response to tlie welcome Into his Opening addiens. He held that there wan a relation between ttio enemies of slavery and of liquor, and that they had mutually sustained each other. The destruction of liquor, ne said, ww beginning as had that of Blavery. He denounced local option as a dangerous compromise with the liquor crime. In effecting the. term ovary ormuiizatlon, William Daniel, oi Maryland, was elected Chairman, and Mrs. Wood bridge, of Ohio, and Charles B. Carter, ot Washington, ns Hrcretaries, K.r. Daniel spoke of the ttroirfess the cause Of teihiwraneehad made in MaryliiHd. lie thought that if the Christian voters of the countrv wt re united, they could put St. John or sonic other good man In the hlu House. After tho appointment of a Committee on Credentials, the convention adjourned until the afternoon. Tho aft moon session opened with a felicitous demonstration, thecntlre convention partlcli .t lng In the ringing of "John Brown,' and, after prayer, of "Crown Him Lord of All." ThcSrorotary reported the foUowinv State representatives: Alabama, 2; California, 23; Connecticut, 2; Illinois, 46; Maine, 8; Kansas, 17; Kentucky, (It Michigan, 6; Nebraska, a; Dakota, l; Ohio, W, New Jersey, 18; Mnryland, loj New York, 'S Missouri, la; Tennessee, 12; Texas, lot Pennsylvania, 68; Wisconsin, 55; total, 44s. Telegrams were received from all parts of the country encouraglnc the work ot tho convention. W. C A. Blanchard, of Illinois, addressed the convention, but in the course ot bis remarks gave offense to some of the Wisconsin delegatm, who succeeded In forcing him to Rive up the floor before ho had concluded. At tho evening session the permanent organization was announced, with Prof. Samuel Dickey, of Michigan, as President, a great niaiy Vice Presidents, and Mrs. Woodbrldge, of Ohio, as Secretary. The selections ot tho committee were concurred ls . . On taklnt the chair Prof. Dickey Bald ttat the delegates were forced by their powerful convictions to attend this meeting. They were not in harmony with those who believed in the taxing or licensing of liquor. They could r ot let it alone. They believed that it ought to be suppressed. There was no hope to be placed In political parties. This Prohibition party stood committal to earnest, independent pbliti al action. Its object was to found and to build up from Its foundation an intelligent boiy of voters whose political thought would be a complete suppression of the itquor traflla To that work they were pledged, and by that work they expected to stand. With the power of the General Government in their hands it would be wielded wisely and well, and the nation would be redeemed from the curse of tho rum power. A proposition was made to adopt a two-thuds rule for the nomination of candidates. It was discussed and rejected, and It was decided that It wonld require only a majority of the vows cast to nominate. The rcl of States was called for the nomination of one member from each, of a committed on finance, and two members Of the National Execntivo Committee. Various propositions were submitted and i e ferred to the Committee on Resolutions. Among them was one to make the basis of representation at tho next National Prohibition Convention two for each Congressional District and four for each State; and another to change the party's name. The convention at 10 o'cloek adjourned till 0 a. m. Thursday. Seeohd ay. The convention was called to order at 9:10 a. m. by Chairman Daniel, and the exercises of the day were opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Ieer. of New York. Mr. Mosber, of Maryland! said, satirically, that the thanks of the convention were due to the General Government for the interest shown by it in this convention as evidenced by lti sendlhg two high officers (the Commissioner of Pensions and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs) to Pittsburgh to advise the delegates. These gentlemen, it appeared by the morning papers, had gone hack to Washington and reported that the convention could not be bribed at any price that they oould not even be hired to go home. At lotiWa rail of the States was ordered tor the presentation of candidates for the Presidency. When California was reached Mr. Bf.bcock ascended the rostrum and pi iced in nomination Dr. McDonald, of California. The speaker described Mr. McDonald as a man who had borne the banner of tenvoerance in the wine-cursed State of California, and who in return had been maligned because he manufasti nred a brand or patent medicine. Mr. Babccok was iwsilive that there was no foundation tor any of the charges that had been made against Sr. McDonald, and he assured the convention that there was not a particle of alcoholic stimulant in the bitters. Ho described his candidate as a man of great generosity, and of conservative views. In response to the call for Illinois, Mr. George C. Christian advanced to the rostrum and presented the name ot ex-Gor. J. P. St. John, whom ho described as a man whose record specially commended him to the consideration 01 the convention. He was a man who lad seen war, who had lived on the bloody plains of the far West. He was the father of actual, practical, constitutional prohibition. He was a man whose whole soul and energies were entirely devoted to the cause. Hs might not bs able to contribute very largely In a mateiial way, bnt he oould give to the cans the influence of moral force and moral heroism which no other man now named or to be named could

ever hope to give it. Not only tbat. but he was

a brother-in-law 01 tne rresiaentoi tne nontan s Christian Temperance Union. Miss Frances E. WlUard seconded the nomination of St. John, whom ens had known since childhood. St. John's nomination was also seconded by Mr. Minor, of Massachusetts: Mr. Harmey, of Michigan; Mr. Satterlee, of Minnesota: Mrs. Hoffman, of Missouri: Mr. Hopkins, of New York; Mr. Finch, ot Nebraska, and many others. Mr. Babcock withdrew McDonald's name, sad seconded the nomination of St, John. Mr. Enstls, of Maine, presented the name of Gideon T. Stewart, of Ohio, but Mr. Stewart leclined. Ho said that he was in favor of St. Joan. The Hon. James Black, of Pennsylvania, also refused to bs a candidate, and urged his friends to vote St. John. Mr. Chapin, of Wisconsin, seconded the nomination of St. John, and declared that the fight in the coming election would be between St. John and Cleveland. After soma talk, without acting on the nomination, the convention at 1:80 took a recess till

4:30.

When the convention reassembled, a large nnmber ot dispatches were read urging the nomination of Gov. St John, of Kansas, for President. One from New Hampshire mtd: " Two hundred thousand Methodists are waiting to vote for St John." Another from the State Prohibition Convention at Indianapolis conveyed greetings. The Chairman said, alter the reading of these dispatches, that the pending business was to make the nomination ot Mr. St. John unanimous. Prof. Hopkins, ot New York, submitted an amendment that the roll of States be called. Many ot the delegates urged that the nomination be deferred nntil after the adoption ot the platform. The convention refused, however, and the call of the roll was ordered. All the delegations voted nnan'mously for St. John, and when the Secretary made the announcement giving the total vote cast as 002, the audience rose to Its feet find cheered. These demonstrations were k.ipt up for several moments and finally broke ont into a song of "Glory Hallelujah," closing by the long meter doxology. Dispatches were read from New York, Boston, Portland, Providence, and other Eastern ton ns, describing the enthusiasm with which the nomination of Mr St. John had been received among church-going and temperance people. The committee on resolutions reported the platform, which Is as follows: 1. The Prohibition Home Protection parly, in national convention assembled, acknowledge Almighty God as the rightful sovereign of all men, and from whom the just powers of government are derived; to whoso laws human enactments should conform, and that peace, piosperlty, and happiness only can come to the people when the laws of the National and State Governments are in accord with the divine will. 2. That the Importation, manufacture, supply, and sale of alcoholic beverage, created and maintained by the laws of tho National and State Governments, during the entiro history of such laws, is everywhere shown to be tho promoting cluso of intemperance, with resulting crime and pauperism, making large demands npon publio und private charity, Imposing large and unjust taxation and publio burdens for penal and shelinrlng institutions npon thrift. Industry, manufactures, and commerce; endangering the publio peace; causing desecration of the Sabbf.th; corrupting our politics, legislation, and administration ot the laws; shortening lives, impairing health, and diminishing the productive Industry; causing education to bo neglected and despised: nullifying the teachings of the Bible, the church, and the school the standards and guides of our fathers and their children In the founding and gron th, under God, of our widely extended country, and which, imperiling the perpetuity ot our civil and religions liberty, are baletuf fruits, by whioh wo know that these laws are alike contrary to God's laws and contravene our happiness; and ws call unon our fcllow-rltlzens to aid in the repeal ot these laws and the legal suppression of this baleful Uqnor traffic. 8. The fact that dining the twenty-four yrs in which the Republican party has controlled the General Government, and that of many of these States, no effort has been made to change the policy. Territories have been created from tho national domain, and governments for them established, and States from them adralttei to the Union, in neither of which has thin traffic beon forbidden, or the people of these Territories or States been permitted to prohibit That there are now over 200 000 distilleries, breweiles, and retail dealers in these drinks, holding certlfloatea and claiming the authority of the Government for tho continuation of a business destructive to the mural and material welfare ot the people, together with the fact that they have turned a deaf car to remonstrance and petition for the correction of the abuse of t ivil government, la conclusive that the Republican party ia insensible to, or impotent for, the redress of those wrongs, and should no longer be intrusted with the powers or responsibilities of government That although that party, in its late national convention, wsa silent on tho liquor question, not so its candidates' Mesars. Blaine and Logan. Within tho year put Mr, Blatat has publicly recommended

that than II 11 rJerlverl from the liquor traffic shall be distributed among the States, and Senator Logan has by bill proposed '0 devote theso revenues to the support of schools. Thus both virtually recommend the perpetuation of the traffic, and that the States and Its citizens shall become p rtners In the liquor crime. Tho fact that the Democratic party has In Its national deliverances of party policy arrayed itself on tho eideot the drink-makers and sellers by deolariug against the policy of prohibition of such trafflu tindor the falSctlame Ot ' sumptuary lawst" and when in power in some of the States lefuslng to remedy legislation, and In Congress refusing to I ormlt the creation of a board of Inquiry to Investigate and report npon the effects of this traffic, proves that the Democratic party should not be intrusted with power or place. That there can bo no greater peril to the nation than the existing competition of the Republican end Demoartle parties fbr tlie liquor voto, Kxliericnon shows that any party not opeUy opposed to tho traffic will engage in this competition, will court the favor of the criminal classes, will barter aay tho public morals, tin purity of tho ballot and cv.'ry trust and object of good government, for party success, and patriots and good citizens should find in till.practice Hutlicient cause for immediate withdrawal from connection with such party. 4 That while we favor refirms In tlicadmlnlst ration of the Government in the abolition of all sinecures and useless oflioes, wo favor the election by tl'e iwople ot the Postoflice officers ot Government, instead of appointment by tho President; that competition and tobrlety are essential qualification for holding a civil office, and wo oppose the removal of such iwrsous except SO far hs It may be abs0lut9ly necessary to w euro efrectlvehes as the vital Issue on which tile Oovtji rime tit is intrusto l to a party; that the collection of revenues from si ohol, liquors, and tobacco should be abolished as the vices of men, and not a proper subject tor taxation. 6. That revenue for Customs duties should bo levied for the support of the Government, economically administered, and when so levied the fostering ot Amorlcait labor, manufactures, and Industries should constanily be held in view. A. That the public lands Should be held for homes for the people, and not for gifts to corporations! or to be held in lame IwdtrS for speculation upon the deeds of actual settlers. 7. That all money, coin, and paper shall be made, issued, and regulated by the General Government, and -ha!l bo legal tender for all debts, public and private. 8. That gtatcful care and support should bo given to our sol Hers and sailors, their dependent widows or orphans, disabled lh tho service of the country. 9. That we repudiate as nu-American, contrary to and subversive of the principles of the Declaration of Indoi ondencc, from which our Government has grown to be a Government of 55,000,004 ot people, and a recognized power among the nations, that anypeiSon or people shall or may be excluded frorh residence or citizenship with all others who may desire the benefits which our institutions confer Upon the oppressed ot all nations. 10. That while thc are Important reforms, and demanded for the purity of administration und the welfare of tho people, their importance sinks into insignificance whon compared to the reform of tho drink traffic, whlcb annually wastes tuou.w ,ooo ot the we Ith crca ed by toil and thrift and drags down thousands of families from comfort to poverty; which nils jails, penitentiaries, Insane asylums, hospitals, and institutions lor dependency; which destroys tho health, sag s th Industry, and causes loss of life and property to thousands In the land, lowers Intellectual and physical vigor, dulls . the cunning hand ot the artisan, tne chief causo of bankruptcy, fnso -vency, and loss in trade, and by its corrupting power endangers the perpetuity of free Institutions 11. That Congress shonld exorcise its undoubted power and prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages in the District ot ColnmblH, the 'territories of the United States, and in all places over which the Government has exclusive jurisdiction. 12. That hereafter no State shall be admitted into tho Cnlnu until its constitution shall expressly prohibit polygamy and the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages. We earnestly call the attention of the laborer and mechanic the miner and manufacturer, ahd ask an investigation of the baneful effects upon labor and Industry ca ised by the needless liquor business, which will be found a robber. Which lessens wages add profits the destroyer of the happiness and family welfare of the laboring man ; and that labor and legitimate industry demand deliverance from the taxation and loss which this traffic imposes, and that 110 legislation can so healthily stimulate firoduotion Or increase a demand fOr capital and abor, or produce so much of comfort and conten ti as the suppressing at this traffic would bring to the laboring man, mechanic, or employer of labor throughout our land. 13. That the activity r co-operation of the women ot America for the promotion ot temperance has, in all the history of the past, been strength aSd encourageinsilt which we gratefully acknowledge: and the methods, the earnestness, zeal, intelligence, and devotion of the mothers and daughters of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union have been eminently blessed by God. Kansas and Iowa have been given her as "sheaves" of rejoicing, and the education and arousing of the publio mind, and the constitutional amendments which now prevail, are lamely the fruit of her prayers and labors; and we rejoice to have onr Christian women unite with ns, sharina in tho labor that shall brine abolit ion of the traffic She shall join In the grand "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow when, by law, on boys and firesides shall ba tree from legal drink temptation. 14. That, believing in the civil and political equality ot the sexes, and that the ballot in the hand of woman is right for her protection, and would prove a powerful ally for the suppression of the drink saloon, the execution ot the law, the promotion of reform in civil offices and tha removal oi cor upiion lu public Ufe, we delegate the practical outworking of this reform to the discretion of ttie Problblon party in the several States, according to the condition of publio sentiment in those States. 15. That gratefully we acknowledge and praise God for the presence of His spirit, guiding counsel, and granting the success which has bc -n vouchsafed iu the progress of temperance reform, and looking to Him for all wisdom and help, we ask the voters of the United States to make the principles ot the above declaration a ruling principle in the government of the nation and of the States. The Bev. Dr. Miner, of Massachusetts, one of the three members ot tho Committor on Besolutions. to whem the platform was referred for literary revision, said that the committee would not be able to report to the convention for action. He moved that the name of the party be fixed as tho Prohibition party. Miss Wldard spoke in favor of retaining the name ot the Prohibition Home-Protcotlon Party. Tho vote resulted in 223 to J 56 in favor of Mr. Minor's motion, and the name ot the party was ordered to be "The Prohibition Party. Tho convention then, at 0:30 o'clock, took a recess till 8 o'clock, when, after some discussion regarding the raising of a campaign fund, the roll of States was called lor nominations for the Vice Presidency. Mrs. Carolino Buell, of Connecticut, presi nted the name of George P. Sogers, of Connecticut, speaking of him a Christian gentleman and a Christian prohibitionist the father of that party in Connecticut. Mrs. Minnie Mosher Jackson, ot Savannah, Ga., firesented the name of William Daniel, remarkng that as thev bad John P. St John to lead them on they should have "a Daniel come to judgment" , .. Mr. Babcock. of California, seconded Daniel a nomination, being assured that he would carry Maryland for prohibition. After a rambling discussion of various topics and a profuse seconding of tho nomination of Daniel, the States were called and he was unanimously chosen the candidate for the Vice Presidency. Mr. 'Daniel briefly returned thanks, and. after some farther nnimnortant business, thcoonventlon at midnight adjourned sine die.

INDIANA PROHIBITIONISTS. Two State Conventions at Indianapolis Thoy Aftwo to Disagree. Associated Press report The Indiana Prohlbitlonlsta were unable to agree on a policy to bo pnrsuod in the present cauvass, and as a result representa'Jvca of the nirtv held two conventions in this city (IndianapousI to-day. Ono faction, headed by M. E. Shiel. E. F. Bitter, and others, favoring the nomination of a State ticket, assembled In English's Opera House, and organized by sel.-cttng Ell F. Bitter for Permanent Chairman. Mr. Hitter, on taking the chair, delivered a speech urging the nomination of a State ticket. A long and spirited discussion ensued on a resolution pledging the participants of tho convention te support the ticket and platform, and a resolution to that effect was finally adopted. About forty nicmlwrs declined to be bound by this action, and left the hall. A comninnioation was received from the anti-State ticket couventi in asking a confer, ncc,. which request was at first laid on the tible, but this action was subsequently reconsidered and a conference committee appointed. . Nothing was accomplished, however, by the conference. The following nominations were made: Governor R. 8. Dwiggins, of Jasper Comity. Lieutenant Governor E. C. Hiler, of Hendricks. Secretary of Bta'e B. F. Carter, of Marlon. Auditor Eli Miller, of St Joseph. Trcasuior A. 3. Taylor, ot Allen. Judue of the Supreme Court K. P. Hammond, Ot Jasper. . Superintendent of Publio Instruction Kyland V. Brown, of Marlon. The State Central Committee was instructed to name the candidates for Attorney General and Presidential electors. The convention then adjourned. The platform denounces the old parties tor failure to recognize prohibition, and declares in favor of statutory prohibition: favors woman suffrage; declares that the offices should not bo given as rewurds for party services; demands that tho effects of alcohol on the human system bo taught in the schools; 0 largcs the last Legislature with treachery In refusing to submit pending amondmonts to the constitution: and demands the enforcement of the existing laws. The faction opposed to the nomination of a State tioket assembled in tho Grand OperaHouse, and was called lo order by E. B. Iteynolds. Permanent organization was effected by making Will Cumback Chairman, and a Vice President from each Congressional district. A proprslllon looking to harmonious action with the Sh el convention was adopted, and a committor of conference was appointed, hut ihe conference was frultles. Dr. Honser addressed tho convention, and In the course of his re i.arks chargod that Slilel was acting fraudulently. Ths meeting finally determined to organize a Constitutional Amondment Association, the object being to secure the election of members of tho Legislature who will vote for a constitutional convention, thus affording Prohibitionists an opportunity to express their views at the polls in the selection ot members ot said body.

Ravages of tha Cholera is tha Cities of France Described by an Eye-Witness.

filth aad Pestilence Stalking- Hand; in Hand through Marseilles and Tonloa.

A special cable dispatch from Marseilles W the New York rimes gives agraphia narrative of scenes Und incidents of the cholera district by an eye-witness. It says: Passing along the narroir and squalid Boo Caisserie, over ttao-half tho shops were seen to be closed at every crossing. From A tenement region on the hill above a stream of fetid wator flowed across the street and plunged down a precipitous descent on the other side through dark lanes crowded with towering rookeries swarming below with idle men and children playiua n tho filthy gutters, the women meanwhile swashing tths water about with their brooms, under tha evident impression that they were cleaning something. Each glimpse of any ono of these streets is enough to turn the stomach of any healthy man. The smell through all this quarter, in Which during a space of twenty minutes we mot three laden hearses, was bad enough, but the smell was indescribably worse when we had driven across town to two of the most afflicted quarters of all Marseilles Capelette and the adjoining quarter. Ill order to reach them we crossed the old ship canal! Which was filled to tho brim with reeking and had its surface thickly covered with garbage and refuse of a decidedly miscellaneous and revolting kind. Finally wo got on a street kndwn as Toulon road, a wide thoroughfare without a shade-tree. Its gutters ran rivulets of drab-colored water Which bad overflown from tho canal whore it was dammed now and then by heaps of rotting Vegetables or worse substances, including dead cats and dogs. Four out of every five houses were found closed Those which rejnained open were mainly estnfflinets, where, under dirty awnings and on dirty sidewalks, men and women sat drinking, or were already reduced to stupor by previous drinking, and junk-shops in which filthy people were sorting rotten rags in an unspeakably vile atmosphere. Festering filth was around them, and a tropical sun beat fiercely down Upon the scene, blinding the eyes as its rays were reflected from the White road, across Which in the Qunrtier Capelctte courses a stream the size of main sewer in New York, winding its Way uncovered among the houses on its journey to the sea. Ths stream was laden with the sewage of the vilest of the Marseilles quarters Capelette and the adjoining whioh have furnished much over one-half of the deaths that have occurred at Marseilles, and it is an interesting fact that the largest pM portion of them were Italians. The wharfs all along the water front were found to be crowded with quarantine shipping, most Italian and French, and picturesque sights Were the Mediterranean sailors, among whom were many negroes, lying about in the shado. At the beginning nineteen-twentieths of the patients received at the Pharo failed to recover. For the last fortnight matters btvvo so far improved that only two-thirds of thoso received have died. This excessive mortality at first was largely due to the fact that most cases when received developed into a hopeless condition. Tho highest number that have been in the hospital at any one time is 110, and tho largest nnmber received in any one day is thirty-seven. There are two ohief doctors. The treatment, both here and at Trwilon, in the first Stages, is twenty drops of ttudanum with three groins of ether, with ice in the mouth to stop the vomiting. In the second stages the patients become very cold. From ten to fifteen grammes of acetate of ammonia, the same quantity of alcohol, and two injeotions of morphia are given daily. If thepotientcan not breathe, artificial respiration of oxygen is produced and the limb? are rubbed with turpentine. Ihe third stage is the coffin. Delay in placing the bodies in the coffins is made necessary by the fact that violent post-mortem action of the limbs takes place, caused by a terrible reaction after death, in which the temperature rises from extreme cold at dissolution to 120 after it Of many pathetic sights the most painful that I saw ocourred in the female ward, where one room was mostly occupied by children. A nun held in her arms by an open window a dying babe 18 months old. Its three sisters (the oldest being only 10 years) lav on beds near by their parents, both of whom died the same day, and there was small hope for any of the remaining children save the oldest. A dozen children in all were to be seen here, some of them in a state of recovery. Late at night I drove with my courier outside the city to the Cemetery St Pierre to see the burial of the three patients whom I had observed in the Pharo hospital in the nfteruoon. After a brief burial service, intoned by a patfe young priest who looked badly scored, three boxes were hurriedly lowered into a trench eight feet deep by twenty feet long, and a goodly quantity of lime was shoveled on top. It was a ghastly trench and there was plenty of room for more coffins. It was a weird and saddening sight There stood the tall white houses. The dead still wore their tawdry trinkets, and the whole was lighted up as in a picture by Bembmndt by the fitful glare of three lanterns. Those gaping trenches were big enough to hold their thousands. A concierge sfiowed me a burial permit. Across the face of the document was written: ' 'Cholera urgent," and there was a requisition for some disinfectant. The same correspondent visited Toulon, and thus depicts what he witnessed: If in a sanitary sense the condition of Marseilles was frightful, that of Toulon struck me as simply murderous. Although Tonlon has a background of mountains, the city itself is situated on a flat plain, four feet only above the level of a tideless sea. The consequences arising from imperfect drainage, with a natural want of slope, are that tho sewers have only a fall of eighteen inches; so, with a sluggish movement, the filth of the town drops into an almost stagnant sea. What is worse is that at the points where these drains flow they are only covered with plank, and the filth, disgusting to the nose, impresses itself on the eyes. You not only then smell but you see the publio garbage of Tonlon. Tust fancy people living iu this city of quite 80,000 inhabitants without the faintest glimmer of common sense in regard to common hygiene! Toulon must bo inhabited by people who utterly ignore every precaution which health requires. Their habits both in their houses and in the publio streets are indescribably filthy. The plain English of it is about this: That it is impossible for people who live on fruit, who drink all kinds of poor fluids, who sleep in dirt and nastincss, who breathe an air polluted by the sewage of the town itself, and rendered doubly poisonous by excreta left by the training-ships, to escape oholera. The marvel is that this disease did not Audits birth here years before. Toulon has always been a center of disease. Smallpox, when it broke out in. Tonlon, was always of a malignant type, and more clifficnlt to stamp out than elsewhere. The natural death rate was invariably high, and likely to be increased at any time by abnormal diseases. Fright, fatigue, and bad food are exactly the elements which predispose human beings to attacks of cholera. I believe, as I have said before, that there is little danger of contagion, provided precautions are taken. I think that fear kills many men and women. I find that the nurses and Sisters of Charity who have been stricken down with the disease, were invariably those who had lost heart and were of mid to face cholera.
